Brian Tyler returns once again to score Fast and Furious with "Furious 7". It's good to hear the theme return from the composer who has had the most involvement with the series. I've always enjoyed Tyler's music and my favorite scores from him are "Children of Dune" and "Transformers Prime". He certainly isn't a newcomer for intense action music having scored numerous Fast and Furious movies, Need for Speed: The Run, and The Expendables. He has an impressive, ever growing resume with plenty of variation to keep him a viable film composer for years to come.
Tyler brings all the electronic tricks and gizmos to give "Fast 7" the score it deserves and exactly what we expect to hear in a movie like this. With plenty of upbeat rhythms and techno "watch-ya-ma-call-its" galore...this is not a soundtrack you'd want to listen to on a Sunday drive. It's pretty intense when it wants to be and more likely to give you a speeding ticket when not used carefully! Tyler doesn't rely solely on his electronic toys however. He does and excellent job of blending everything together with a stringed orchestra and brass too. Nearly all of the emotional/sentimental portions of the score are done exclusively with the stringed orchestra and Tyler sure can spin a soulful and heartfelt melody out of them too. One that will surely bring a tear to your eye is the last track, #28, entitled "Farewell". I assume this is something that is probably dedicated to Paul Walker either during or after the credits of the movie? I haven't seen the movie yet so I'm not sure.
The action tracks are thankfully not "action noise" and very fun to listen to. With plenty of added effects, tempo drops, and accelerated surges...these sequences are very exciting and are seriously affective in conveying this element of the film. We watch these films to see beautiful cars we all wish we had do incredibly crazy things we would never do with them. We want the soundtrack to match. Tyler delivers yet again and I happen to like this one better than "Fast Five". He is much more playful with the theme this time around and the action sequences seem a bit more amped up as well.
The CD version comes with 28 tracks and runs for 1hr. 18min. Included is a 12 page insert with pictures of the cast, images from the movie, and credits to the orchestra. Page 3 has a picture of Paul Walker with the title, "For Paul". It's a great score for the film and I highly recommend.
